Frequently Asked Questions About TADs Orthodontics

Why Should I Use Micro-Implants?

Simply put, micro-implants involve tiny screws, which are embedded into the patient’s bone. This provides a much better anchor point for the teeth to move.Anchor teeth work in some scenarios, but they’re likely to move. Thanks to micro-implants, you won’t have to worry about that, and you’ll be able to predict how the teeth will move with more accuracy.Some patients may be hesitant to get micro-implants, so some dentists don’t even try to offer them in particular cases. However, it’s our job as professionals to reassure the patient and let them know that the attachment is temporary and that it’s simple to install.

Are GDT Implants’ Orthodontic Micro-Implants Painful for the Patient?

There’s a common belief that micro-implants are painful for patients. The answer to this question may be tricky.Installations aren’t supposed to hurt. You’ll apply local anesthesia to the treatment area, and that will get rid of the pain. As for the screw, it won’t take you more than a few minutes to install.Now, it’s possible for your patient to feel mild discomfort the first week after the procedure. It’s rare for patients to feel pain after that period, but if they do, they must notify you immediately.If everything goes right, you will be able to remove the micro-implant sooner rather than later.

Are There Any Downsides to Micro-Implants?

Besides the discomfort the patient will feel after the procedure, there aren’t many downsides to these implants. The main factor you should be aware of is that most tooth roots are different, so there’s a small likelihood of your micro-implants touching or penetrating them. This will cause complications.You can solve this problem by taking an x-ray of your patient before placing the micro-implant. This will give you a better idea of what the ideal location for the product is.As you can see, there are no serious problems regarding micro-implants as long as you install them correctly. Take as many precautions as possible, and you’ll be fine.

Why Are the Implants Made with Titanium Grade 5?

Each of our products is made from “Titanium Grade 5,” and they’re certified for usage in all dental settings. Grade 5 titanium is one of the most preferred materials for dental implants, as it promotes better osseointegration performance, strength, and fracture resistance.Thanks to Grade 5 titanium, you can ensure proper load transmission to your patient’s bone tissue over a long period. This is crucial in cases when their damaged hard tissues need to be replaced by prostheses.Overall, this material offers more longevity compared to others, ensuring your patient stays happy and comfortable with their results.
